I have led internal harassment investigations, training activities for managers, benefit plan roll-outs, strike contingency planning and execution, as well as grievance and arbitration proceedings. Additionally, my Six Sigma Black Belt experience, which was focused on safety improvement at the facility level, provided both cultural improvements and financial gains for the organization.
